A supple, medium-bodied red wine that's packed with aromas of cherry, red plum and cedar smoke. Cherry-berry festival for your mouth. Lively and silky. Great structure and mouth-watering juiciness. Some dried herbs and fresh earth on the finish. Try it with planked salmon. Bring it -- to my house please.

This really shows the velvety plush texture for which the Santa Maria Valley is so well known. Ripe cherry fruit dominates the aromas and flavours, but there is plenty going on here with layered raspberry and earth notes making their presence known as well. Enjoy this classically styled, single-vineyard Pinot. Source: Vintages Wine Ratings and Reviews, Nov. 2013.
